Are you all about that flex life?
Don’t worry; you don’t have to hit the gym. (Dad joke…)
Amazon Flex is actively seeking delivery drivers in 19 U.S. areas.
This isn’t your average delivery service, either. You can make up to $25 an hour — and set your own schedule.
As a Flex delivery driver, you’re picking up packages from your local Amazon facility and delivering them to locals who use the Prime one-hour delivery option. It’s like a pizza delivery job — but you never know what people are going order from Amazon.
And there’s no pizza stinking up your car.
Amazon Flex Needs You — If You Live in These Areas
Flex is currently available in more than 30 U.S. areas, according to Amazon. But for now, it’s only recruiting folks in 19 of those, including:
- Arlington, Virginia
- Austin, Texas
- Boston, Massachusetts
- Chesapeake, Virginia
- Chicago, Illinois
- Dallas, Texas
- Denver, Colorado
- Indianapolis, Indiana
- The greater Los Angeles area, California
- Manhattan, New York
- New Jersey
- Orlando, Florida
- Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
- Portland, Oregon
- San Antonio, Texas
- San Diego, California
- The greater San Francisco area, California
- Seattle, Washington
- Virginia
Amazon has plans to expand the program, so if your area isn’t on this list, you can opt to join a waitlist. That way you’ll be notified if an opportunity pops up.
Here’s How You Can Start Flexin’ With Amazon
You can sign up online or through the Flex app.
Note: You must be at least 21 years old and have a valid U.S. driver’s license.
Once you confirm this, you’ll be asked: “Do you have a mid-sized sedan, such as a 4-door Honda Civic, or a larger vehicle?” You’ll need to answer “yes” to qualify.
It also notes that if you have a truck, it’ll need an enclosed bed to avoid soggy deliveries.
In some areas, bikes are an acceptable mode of transportation — as long as you have a helmet, basket and meet safety standards.
Then you’ll be asked if you have an iPhone, Android or “other”? You can operate from an iPhone or Android, but just be sure you meet the specific minimum requirements, as outlined on the FAQ page.
If you meet all the qualifications, Amazon Flex will get in touch with you with more details.
Eventually, you’ll need to do a background check, which takes about two to four days to complete.
Do You Qualify? Here are More Details on Working for Amazon Flex
You can set up your work schedule through the Amazon Flex app.
There are two ways to do this:
1. You can set your availability for the upcoming week. So if you’re working a 9-to-5 job already, you can set your delivery times around those priorities. This way, you’ll be confirmed for a delivery ahead of time. Just be sure to update your schedule before noon on Fridays.
2. You can pick up deliveries based on demand as customer orders trickle in. You’ll select the “Ready to Deliver Today” option for this.
You’ll be notified at least one hour before the delivery must occur. If you can’t make it, forfeit it at least 45 minutes before the delivery clock begins ticking down.
If you have an exceptionally hectic week, don’t worry — you don’t need to meet any sort of minimum requirements.
Amazon does emphasize that this gig should not be treated as full-time income; it’s just a great way to earn some extra money in your free time.
Check Out How Much Money You Can Make Working for Amazon Flex
You can earn $18 to $25 an hour delivering packages, according to the Flex site.
You’ll get paid on Tuesdays and Fridays through an automatic direct deposit to your bank account. You’ll see the payment in your account the next day.
Not a bad side gig, right? And you don’t even have to deal with people — just the workers over at the Amazon delivery station.
Any other questions? You can contact Amazon Flex, but chances are its FAQ page will have you covered.
A hearty shoutout goes out to Hip2Save. Thanks for reminding us about this awesome opportunity!
